Skin lesions appearing in the beard area often stem from hormonal disorders, lifestyle and skin care routine.

Below is a list of the most common reasons for their occurrence.

Hormonal Fluctuations
The most common factor leading to acne on the lower part of the face, especially in adult women, are changes in the hormonal balance.

Common causes include:

Menstrual cycle

Pregnancy period

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Hormonal abnormalities such as elevated androgen levels

This type of acne often presents as painful, deep-seated cystic lesions.

Diet
Eating foods high in simple sugars, dairy products, and processed carbohydrates may increase the appearance of blemishes in some people.

Diets that raise insulin levels can stimulate sebum production and lead to increased inflammation in the skin.

Improper skin care
Using heavy, pore-clogging or irritating cosmetics can cause acne in the beard area.

Not thoroughly cleansing your face of makeup – or worse, falling asleep without removing it – often leads to worsening skin condition.

Washing your face too vigorously or excessively exfoliating the skin can dry out your skin, which paradoxically increases sebum production.

Stress
Under stress, the body may produce more hormones that stimulate the sebaceous glands and cause pores to become clogged.

Contact with contaminated surfaces
Frequently touching your face with your hands or resting your chin on your hands transfers bacteria and contaminants directly to your skin.

Devices such as cell phones, as well as protective masks and dirty pillowcases, can also be a source of acne in this area.

Health Problems
When acne lesions persist for a long time and are particularly severe, the cause may be hormonal disorders such as PCOS, adrenal gland disorders or other endocrine diseases.

Cosmetics and beard care products
Treatments such as shaving or beard removal can cause micro-damage and inflammation of the hair follicles.

Some products, such as lip balms, beard oils, and face creams, may contain ingredients that clog pores, which can lead to blemishes.

If acne on the chin appears as painful, deeply located lesions or persists for a long time, it is worth consulting a dermatologist.
